32.066 atomic mass units.
Answer: It is an exothermic process because heat energy is absorbed by the water as the NaOH(s) dissolves in it.
Explanation:
Endothermic reaction : It is a type of chemical reaction where the energy is absorbed from the surrounding. In the endothermic reaction, the reactant are less than the energy of product. In endothermic reaction, the change in enthalpy is, positive
Exothermic reaction : It is a type of chemical reaction where the energy is released into the surrounding. In the exothermic reaction, the energy of reactant are more than the energy of product. In exothermic reaction, the change in enthalpy is, negative.
Thus as energy is absorbed by water, which has been released by NaOH, the process is exothermic.
Answer:
NaNO3 (solubility = 89.0 g/100 g H2O)
Explanation:
The solubility of a specie is the amount of solute that will dissolve in one litre of the solvent. Solubility is usually expressed in units of molarity.
Now let us calculate the molarity of the NaNO3 (solubility = 89.0 g/100 g H2O)
Molar mass of NaNO3= 23+14+3(16)= 85gmol-1
Mass of solute=89.0g
Amount of solute= mass of NaNO3/molar mass of NaNO3
Amount of solute= 89.0g/85.0 gmol-1
= 1.0moles of NaNO3
Note that 100g of water=100cm^3 of water.
If 1.0 moles of NaNO3 dissolve in 100cm^3 or water therefore,
x moles of NaNO3 will dissolve in 1000cm^3 of water
x= 1.0 × 1000/ 100
x= 10.0 moles of NaNO3
